<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It's summer time and that means vacation time! I want to sew some trendy clothes to wear on vacation this summer! I am so honored to be a part of the Sew What Do I Wear Summer Vacation Edition Blog tour sponsored by <a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/" target="_blank">Made for Mermaids</a> and <a href="http://www.patternsforpirates.com/" target="_blank">Patterns for Pirates</a>!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Have you noticed all of the mannequins at the stores are wearing off the shoulder tops? Or all of those silly ads I see on Facebook have models with off the shoulder tops. So, when I was thinking about what to sew for vacation it was obvious that I was going to use the </span><a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/product/mamadaphne/?affiliates=17122" style="font-size: 11pt;" target="_blank">Mama Daphne</a><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> to make an off the shoulder top. I used a rayon challis on my top to make it the perfect weight for summer. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once I chose a top it was time to make some shorts, I looked in my closet and realized my favorite shorts are rayon challis so I knew the </span><a href="http://www.madeformermaids.com/product/mamalucy/?affiliates=17122" style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">Mama Lucy shorts</a><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"> were just what I needed. I paired a red Rayon challis with a red lace to make one of my favorite outfits of the summer. I made a few alterations to perfect my look. First, I hemmed each piece of my rayon challis and then I sewed the shorts together as written as if the lace and rayon were one piece. (I hemmed the rayon challis 1.5" so it was definitely shorter than the lace.) I also added a flat front to the shorts, this gave them a more chic look that I was wanting. (Before I added the flat front the lace gathered in the front in a way I did not like.) Now it's time to explore!</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">So,
the Holidays are approaching and I'm quickly sewing up Christmas
outfits for my kids, family pajamas and even a few gifts. The question
is what is mama going to wear? We have
a list of events to attend in the next few months: brunch, fundraisers,
choir performances, tree lighting ceremonies, and tree decorating with
the family. I want to wear something festive but weather appropriate,
which means it need to be warm because it's
COLD here. It also needs to be comfortable because I have three kids
who I will be chasing around at each event. I love the <a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.patternsforpirates.com%2Fproduct%2Fslim-add-on-pack-bundle%2F%3Faffiliates%2B366&data=01%7C01%7Cben.wilkerson%40cerner.com%7C97f5b8b1ccf94bdebfcc08d40e69c8f7%7Cfbc493a80d244454a815f4ca58e8c09d%7C0&sdata=IRXZEwHHAw22Bsav1RTEnRVXpAengnTNj6N7kD7Hv0w%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">slim
fit raglan</a>, it's flattering and comfortable but is it dressy enough
for holiday events? Well, with the right fabric and a funnel neck
add-on it's the perfect choice for me.</span></span><br />

made this one in red french terry and it's just what I needed: festive
formal enough for our events and most importantly comfortable. I love
the funnel collar because it adds a
bit of class to the raglan and makes it just right for holiday events.</span></span><br />

I think it will be perfect for this fall/winter when she needs warm tunics and leggings for school!Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234014399040417930.post-58033940881240484002016-08-13T09:50:00.000-07:002016-08-13T09:50:56.323-07:00Mommy I want to be BelleWhen we started planning our Disney vacation I asked Isabella what kind of outfits she wanted me to make her. I expected her to say Jasmine, Rapunzel, Aurora, all of her favorite princesses. I was shocked when she said Belle! Now, I know Isabella does not like Beauty and the Beast, (she thinks it's too scary), but she chose Belle. I also know she knows Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie and I think that is why she picked Belle.<br />
<br />
So, I was tasked with making a Belle dress. Now, when I recreate outfits for my kids I try to make them as true to the original as I can. Well, after a lot of studying I decided a Belle dress in Orlando in May would not be a good idea so I decided to make my own variation of a Belle dress. I went with the Foo Foo Threads Alexia pattern.<br />

Isabella loves her dress too, the only downside is it's too big to wear in her carseat. Hopefully it will be okay to wear on the school bus.<br />

The last time we were at this store I explained to her that it was made for her to wear really cool leggings underneath. I walked her through all of the beautiful knits to see if there was any she wanted to wear under the hole skirt. She surprised me by picking the solid red. I of course used the <a href="http://bellasunshinedesigns.com/?affiliates=rebecca.wilkerson123" target="_blank">bowtie leggings by Bella Sunshine Design</a> and made her red leggings.</div>

I also told her since she chose red it would look SO cute if we made it a Cardinals outfit and she adimentaly agreed. I wanted a simple mini skirt and chose the <a href="http://thesimplelifecompany.com/pennys-pencil-flounce-skirt-pdf-sewing-pattern-toddler-girl-sizes-2t-12/" target="_blank">Penny Skirt</a> from Bella Sunshine Design.</div>

I could live in skirts, but Isabella does not, she much prefers dresses. However, some skirt patterns are too cute not to sew. I have loved the Penny skirt from <a href="http://thesimplelifecompany.com/pennys-pencil-flounce-skirt-pdf-sewing-pattern-toddler-girl-sizes-2t-12/" target="_blank">Simple Life Pattern Co.</a> sinced it was first released and I finally bought it this spring. The thing about skirts is I like pairing them with store bought knit tops. So, before I could sew her skirt I first had to go to the store and find a shirt. We went to Target and found a navy and mint colored shirt that I liked, so then we went home to find matching fabric. I should have taken a picture of all our fabric choices, but we finally settled on what I think was the perfect match.<br />

I honestly own three leggings patterns, but I love this pattern because of ALL of the options! This pattern can be made in traditional or relaxed fit, short, knee, capri or full lengths. If you're anything like me you're sewing up a pair of leggings while your daughter is sleeping and thinking okay how many inches should I cut off to make them capri length and hope you do it right. </div>

It's hard to see because of the fabric we chose, but here is the adorable bow accent. The bows add such a cute accent and are a quick addition if you're wanting a quick sew.</div>

This was my final creation. I was thrilled to make my son some jeans because he's too tall for one size of pants but too skinny for the next size. He needed some good home made pants. They are my favorite pant pattern, the <a href="http://shwindesigns.bigcartel.com/product/nowhere-man-pants-12m-10years" target="_blank">Nowhere Man Pants</a> by Shwin Design.<br />

Lastly, is the<a href="http://www.peekaboopatternshop.com/great-outdoors-reversible-vest/" target="_blank"> Great Outdoor Vest</a> by Peek a Boo patterns. I love the way my son looks in his new vest but I was disappointed in the pattern. I am fluent in zipper insertion but if you are not this pattern is not for you. Also, the pattern described a zipper stop at the top of the zipper which sounds like a good idea but in reality it did not work out well on this tiny vest.</div>

I used an old college sweatshirt for the vest lining and I used a new knit for the outside of the vest. I decided that remaking old clothes is not for me. I don't see why I should spend a significant amount of time making things out of worn clothes. If I'm going to take the time to make things then I want to make sure they look great and are made out of great fabric that is not worn out. (This is simply my opinion on this project.)<br />

In the winter I found some princess stickers on clearance and purchased them because I was sure we would have a princess party. For a while she wanted a Boutique birthday party, like her 3rd birthday party. I braced myself because I was certain she would ask for a Frozen party and I was already planning how I would make a frozen costume and if I would make a coordinating outfit for Bubby.<br />

One of the pages in book has the song Take me out to the ball game. Isabella can sing the whole song but I didn't make her, I sang it until I got to the part where you sing, "root, root, root..." I paused and Isabella sang, "root, root, root, for the Royals!" I continued singing and Isabella interrupted me and said, "No mom I said, 'root for the Royals!'" So I stopped and tickled her and told her she was singing it wrong. Before tonight I didn't know if she was aggravating me or if she really liked cheering for the Royals, now I know.<br />
<br />
Last night Ben was getting Isabella her evening snack and trying to get her ready for bed. I was putting Caleb to bed and trying to do some laundry. Isabella wondered down the hall and I said to her, "Go sit at the table and eat your snack." She asked, "Will you come sit with me?"<br />
"No honey, I need to do some laundry."<br />
"But mommy, I love you so much I want to see your face!"<br />
Well, when she put it like that of course I will come sit with her!<br />
<br />
Today when we were on our way home from the grocery store Isabella said, "Mommy, my stomach hurts. I think if I eat two donuts it will feel better." (She got to eat two donuts when we got home.)Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234014399040417930.post-35141476258668332532013-06-20T21:14:00.001-07:002013-06-20T21:14:30.585-07:00Summer ShortsI decided to make a few pairs of <a href="http://www.eleganceandelephants.com/2013/04/bubble-pocket-shorts-pattern.html">Elegance and Elephant Bubble Pocket Shorts</a> for my kids this summer. When I saw the pattern I immediately thought of a few different pieced of fabric that I thought would be perfect. I took the kids to Hobby Lobby to buy the fabric and while we were there I found another piece of fabric that I thought would be perfect so I bought that one too. When Isabella saw what I picked out for her she said, "That's what I've been looking for, it will be perfect!"<br />
<br />
I usually stay up way too late working on sewing projects for the kids and Isabella is not nearly as excited in the morning to model what I made her. Because she was so excited about the fabric I thought this morning would be different. After she woke I excitedly took her shorts into her room to show her. She looked at them and then at Caleb's shorts which were also in my hand and said, "I want the Mickey Mouse one!" I tried convincing her the Minnie Mouse ones were way better than the Mickey Mouse ones and she said, "I don't even have a cute shirt to wear!" Being the smart mother I am I quickly showed her the cute red shirt that matched her shorts to which she replied, "It doesn't have anything on it!" Which means, 'I want a Minnie Mouse shirt.' I walked to her closet pulled out the long sleeve Minnie Mouse shirt I made her in the winter and showed it to her and she happily said, "That's what I wanted!" (It was 90 degrees here today.)<br />
<br />
Here are her adorable new shorts, which I loved more and more as the day went on!<br />

<br />
Last week during bedtime.<br />
<span class="userContent">Isabella: "One more story?!"<br /> Mama: "If I read 'one more story' will you get in bed without crying?"<br /> Isabella: "Umm, no thanks!"</span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">About a month ago I was changing a very, very dirty diaper and when I got done Isabella said, "You're welcome!"</span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">About six weeks ago my bellybutton started sticking out because of my pregnancy. When Isabella noticed it she said, "Uh oh, brother broken it!" then she leaned over and kissed my belly button. </span><br />

I looked around her room knowing that her room is not where we keep her balls. I spotted some in her toy door so I pointed them out to her. She picked up a ball, picked up a drum stick and began trying to hit the ball like she was playing baseball! She then gave Ben a drumstick, said, "Daddy needs a ball!" found him one and expected him to play baseball with her! We've watched some Cardinal games but we've never played baseball like this before. I didn't want to be left out so I found a bat and began playing baseball with her too. Since I grew up as a Cardinals fan it made me very proud to see playing baseball in her room!Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234014399040417930.post-32816371708923968332012-05-06T19:40:00.000-07:002012-05-06T19:40:35.690-07:00Cute things that have happened this weekThis week when I went in to Isabella's room to get her up for the day she screamed and then said, "Scare me!" I didn't mean tot scare her and I didn't even know she knew what "scare me" meant.<br />
<br />
Since it's been so warm lately I filled Isabella's wading pool with water and put her slide in the pool. Then, I put her swimming suit on her. Isabella climbed up the slide and slid down into the water. As soon as she hit the water she said "Goodness!" and quickly jumped up and out of the pool. She moved very, very fast!<br />
<br />
This weekend Ben was praying before dinner and got rather windy. We were sitting at the table listening to his prayer and Isabella says, "Amen!" She must have been ready to eat, so Ben wrapped up his prayer. <br />
<br />
Tonight I gave Isabella a choice between purple shorts and butterfly pants to wear as pajama bottoms. First, she made a choice and then she decided she wanted to wear both bottoms. I put the shorts on her and she still wanted the pants, so I put those on her too. Then, she refused to wear her shirt.Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234014399040417930.post-64459116682408984792012-04-25T18:09:00.001-07:002012-04-25T18:09:15.673-07:00Story TimeOne of my favorite things to do is read stories with Isabella before bed. She has gotten so smart that when she knows its the last book we're going to read and we get towards the end of the the story she flips back to the beginning of the book to make story time last longer! I remember hearing stories of myself stalling at bed time.Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234014399040417930.post-87072313463373952992012-04-25T17:32:00.001-07:002012-04-25T17:33:12.414-07:00Here it is!Today we were all three in our bathroom getting ready for our day. Isabella stopped and looked at Ben because he had a piece of toilet paper on his chin. Ben said, "I cut my chin shaving, Daddy has and owie." Isabella was okay with his answer and left the room. She came back saying, "Here it is! Here it is!" She was holding her Winnie Pooh band aids in her hand.She pulled one out and handed it to Ben! She was so proud of herself for being able to help!Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234014399040417930.post-88606636567569332502012-04-18T19:06:00.000-07:002012-04-18T19:06:29.213-07:00CousinsWe just came home from a four day trip to Saint Louis to visit my family. Every morning when we were there Isabella's cousin Abigail (who is only 12 weeks older than her) came over to play. The girls are the same age and they love playing together. They spend a lot of time wanting the toy the other one has but that is typical for their age. Saturday when we were at Abigail's house Isabella told me she wanted water. I gave her her cup but she directed me into the kitchen and into the cabinets until I found Abigail's cup and she asked me to fill it up for her. The girls have always traded cups when they play together. It's one of the cute things they do.<br />

Abigail was expecting to see Bella again. When she realized Isabella wasn't there to play she began to cry, "Bella, Bella".

I try to remedy that, but I still always think that. <br />
Tonight before dinner Isabella wiggled her way onto my lap and wiggled all around. Then, she put her arms around my neck and kissed me! It was so sweet. She hugged me again and kissed me two more times. Then, she said "Love you!" without even being prompted! I do have the best daughter in the world! I love you too Isabella!I promise tomorrow I will give you more kisses!Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234014399040417930.post-60655177375304690372012-02-11T18:14:00.000-08:002012-02-11T18:14:04.775-08:00TattlingTonight my sister watched Isabella and our friend Isaiah in the nursery while the rest of us attended a memorial service. Isaiah is the son of a friend who I grew up with and he was born a month before Isabella. After the service my mom and Isabella were talking with Matt, (Isaiah's dad) and he asked, "Did you play with Isaiah?" Isabella immediately touched her bow and said, "Bow, bow!" So, Matt asked her if Isaiah got her bow and she shook her head yes. Matt assured her he would have a talk with Isaiah. When Rachel came out of the nursery she confirmed Isabella's story that Isaiah tried to get her bow. <br />
<br />
Now, I just want to make sure everyone knows that I think this is just a really cute story and shows how good Isabella is at making connections. Isaiah is still our sweet friend and is simply a 1.5 year old boy who is learning how the world works.Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234014399040417930.post-38584565210877242332012-01-07T20:56:00.000-08:002012-01-07T20:56:49.955-08:00Boots and Infinity ScarvesIsabella has become obsessed with boots lately!

It has been boots, boots, boots ever since. Tonight she decided she needed to put the skirt pieces I was making around her neck as an infinity scarf. She put all three of them around her neck and wore them that way for the rest of the evening. I took them off at bed time and told her they weren't safe to wear. She threw a little fit but I assured her she would be able to wear them again tomorrow. I love my little fashionista!Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04212979111663210838noreply@blogger.com0
